Three Buddies

Short version: a burger roughly as good as you can find at Five Guys at a fraction of the price, but I wouldn't bother with the combo. Probably better for delivery or take out than dine in. A good place for a burger - good ingredients, well cooked and flavorful. The fries are just okay - reasonably crisp, minor seasoning. I wasn't wild about the cheesesteak, though again it was clearly made with good ingredients. Canned soda.The location is a bit worn down, and there were times when we couldn't get service because the register was empty. I expected to see a mural about who the three buddies were, but didn't. The only interior decor besides a "Three Buddies" sign was a television that was kept off. The food was brought out to our table. We were the only people there after a couple of canoodling teenagers left. I got the impression that they bought their supplies from a Halal market next door.

Three Buddies is a fast-casual Halal restaurant known for its burgers, but it also serves fried food (fish, chicken sandwiches, wings, rice), tacos, and cheesesteaks. It is located in Chamblee near the intersection of Chamblee-Tucker Road and Buford Highway (next to Food Terminal). It is accessible by @marta_transit via the 5 and 47 buses.My husband and I ordered the single-patty burger daily special, which comes with a side (fries) and beverage, coleslaw. chicken Philly, and tater tots.The burger was standard fare for a fast-casual restaurant. It was a smash burger with cheese, lettuce, pickles (2), tomato, and hamburger sauce (ketchup, mayonnaise, and relish). It was more lettuce than necessary, and I prefer the bun to be more toasted in a fast-casual eatery. The fries were average as well (I personally like a more consistent seasoning). The coleslaw was pretty good, although it was overdressed with mayonnaise.The chicken Philly featured thinly-sliced chicken (similar to the traditional Philly cheesesteak as opposed to small strips), bell peppers, and cheese. It did have a bit of a kick. My husband did not love the meat preparation or the spice level. I actually preferred the Philly to the burger. The tater tots were well seasoned and had a good crisp.Overall, I would stop by if we were in the area and in the mood for fast-casual American fare. I am curious to try their chicken wings and the III Buddies Signature Burger.

This spot was good for sure! There were about 12 or more of us. Some of us pre ordered. The food was amazing .They could've added more sauce to the wings. The burger on the other hand was a 10/10The only problem I Can pick out was the fact that there was only 1 Girl in the front. I can tell she was a little overwhelmed in the beginning, but she was super nice and sweet. The bathrooms were super clean. Ambiance? Spacious , enough room for big parties. Clean. Wooden like tables and booths available.

Everything was eaten, and this restaurant entered the clean plate club. I came up to Doraville area, but instead of craving ethnic cuisines, I just wanted a burger. I looked-up good burger joints in the area on Eater, and I found this gem. I got the triple stack, loaded with everything- mushroom, egg, bacon, and grilled onions. The burger was full of juice, and they used a good standard potato bun (I think). The burger came standard with American cheese, pickles tomatoes lettuce. I usually don't like lettuce or pickles in my burger, but together with the sauce they used- everything came together perfectly. Despite looking slightly unhealthy, I felt normal after the burger. Everything paired with it made it go down nicely without feeling too greased-up. Will definitely be back to try more! Definitely one of my new favorite burger joints.

I came here in the evening on a weekday. I was the only customer there so I guess it's pretty slow during the weekdays. The employee was very nice and quick. The food was great! I got a single patty burger with the combo to go. Normally when I go to a burger place they don't have just regular burgers. It's hard to find a place that has just regular burgers with none of the extra stuff like extra meats and toppings and sauces but this place has what I was looking for. They have other items like wings and tacos as well. This place is really clean and has so much seating. I will definitely come back.

I wish we'd have gotten the burger. Instead, I opted for the fried rice. It took them longer to make than it did for someone ordering a burger 10min after our order. Plus, the fried rice wasn't even good. I had to tell myself it was fuel for my body and nothing more. On top of that, the silverware was plastic. We didn't have the best service, and for it not to be busy, I'd think it would've been more attentive.

So I decided to go ahead and give it a shot because it was rated fairly high and I do love the taste of a good burger. It's not a big shop, has plenty of tables, no outside seating but plenty of indoor seating.There's only one register so if there are a lot of ppl, you may have to wait. The service was pretty good, they greeted me as soon as I came through the door and were friendly. The space was clean, which is also a plus. They're signage on the screens and then there's paper men needs to look at as well. Honestly all of it looks good though, that's really the end of it, all of it looked really good.Honestly, I was not super impressed with the food though. I got a bacon cheeseburger burger and fries and I tried the wings as well. Lemon pepper wet of course. The wings didnt seem like they had a lot of lemon pepper on them, and they even looked like they were too lightly seasoned. If you go to a place like JR Crickets or the Local, you can see the seasonings all up and through those wings. These didnt have the look or taste like they seasoned them enough. The fries were good, zero complaints. The burger was juicy, so I will give it credit for that. But the taste wasn't super impactful. It was not as flavorful as I would have liked. And the way the burger was stacked, the toppings got all soggy at the bottom of the bun (because it was so juicy I guess). The lettuce was done by the time I got it home. I would give them another try but I am not rushing though. The price was good, really good. So it's worth at least trying out because maybe it was an off day for them. It was not bad, but there were things that could have been done to be better, in my opinion. It's worth another go, but I was not floored with my first experience, given how many high reviews there are.

R and I came here for lunch this past Saturday, after seeing good reviews for this relatively new business. For potential customers, Three Buddies serves Halal food.Three Buddies has its own parking lot and it's decently sized for a small business, and I was easily able to get an open parking space. The restaurant looked small from the outside, but there was a decent amount of tables and seating inside.We walked in and the only employee we saw the entire time we were there walked out from the back kitchen area and warmly welcomed us with a smile. This employee was courteous and attentive, and is one of the business "Buddies." The menu has some variety to it, and the food is simple: wings, burgers, fried rice, chicken sandwiches, Philly sandwiches, and Buddies Specialties. Prices are reasonable too.At the order counter, R and I each ordered Double Patty Burger combos, which come with fries and a canned drink. The burgers have tomato, pickles, cheese and lettuce on them. There aren't any beverage dispensers here, so no drink refills. We sat down at a table near the window.It didn't take long for our food to be served, hot burgers and hot fries, at our table. The flavor of the burgers reminded me of the kind cooked on a seasoned aluminum grill, which is a good memory for me. The burgers were cooked well done, which is not my preference, and they weren't juicy like I was expecting. I did like the flavors. The buns were heated on the grill, also, and our hands got very oily from holding the buns. The fries had a light dusting of seasoned salt, so it was good that they weren't salty.I'll come back in the future, since I want to try their wings.

Fantastic food! Everything was made fresh, looks great, tastes great. I love that they don't use styrofoam plates. They use real dishes. The restaurant is small but very clean and bright. Plenty of tables. The owners (3 buddies) were very friendly and accommodating. They kept checking up on their customers to make sure they are okay. Great addition to the halal restaurant community. Highly recommend.

The food was very delicious and fresh. Highly recommend. We had the grilled Cajun burger and it was fantastic!
